I had a role reversal
I had to stand in at my sister’s wedding for the maid of honor. Oh yeah I am guy. The maid of honor got sick and since I was free..ta-dah! Yeah interesting pics.
I don’t have an usual
I don’t have an usual wedding story. Haven’t been to too many weddings.
Unusual Wedding Experience
I recently went to a wedding at a Hindu temple, and we had to take off our shoes upon entering and walked around the entire time barefoot, which was something new for me.
Shack Wedding
I went to a wedding in the south that took place in a small shack. There was no room for anyone but the bride groom and the parents. They had a dj set up outside that was repeating everything the pastor said. After the wedding the bride and groom joined us outside for the reception.

Left my ring at home and had to borrow my sister’s who is one of the witnesses with her future husband.

Most unusual Wedding
Well I was asked to be a groomsman in a triple wedding. I knew all 3 couples but the one I liked least asked me to be a groomsman. Yes three marriages taking place at the same time. This wedding was planned a year in advanced but no action was made towards the wedding until a month before the date. So a year ago we heard about a (supposedly) wedding that will take place but then we heard nothing else about it until a month before the date of the wedding. The three couples were all friends, 2 sisters married two friends, and the bother of the sister also was getting married to a mutual friend of the five. They decide to have a rehearsal of the wedding the night before the wedding. One rehearsal with 50 people in the bridal party. It was supposed to start at 6, they didn’t start till 9 and we were there till midnight. The day of the wedding it was the longest ceremony ever. Each bride had their own march in music, bridal party, and entourage. We had to sit through each vowel; it was so hot standing there in this cheap Tux from well I’ll keep that quiet. One of the bridesmaid fainted it was so hot. It was just crazy, three different photographers, family fighting about seating, and a year later,, None of them are married. So if this wasn’t crazy I don’t know what is.
Jumping the broom - unusal wedding
The wedding I recall is where the bride and the groom came down together instead of seperately and the bridal party came behind them…..this is before the vows …..really who does that, I guess they did everyone was confused. It was interesting.
wedding
I went to a banquet hall that had two wedding receptions being held at the same time. The unusal part was both brides/grooms had the same names. I found out when I walked in and did’t recognize the couple, but fortunately no one noticed I was at he wrong party.
